Compact. Modular. Powerful.
Introducing the miniWASE pilot system.
Hepworth Brewery – Wastewater to energy
We are helping the brewery treat their wastewater on the premises, turning it into biogas on-site and avoiding costly collection and disposal.
miniWASE is a compact, modular system that showcases WASE’s cutting-edge electromethanogenesis technology at a pilot scale. Quickly determine the commercial viability of a full scale WASE system on your site. It efficiently treats organic waste while producing renewable biogas, offering real-time monitoring, adaptive processing, and a scalable solution for decentralised wastewater treatment.
